Overview

  • Marius Borg Høiby is indicted on 32 counts, including four alleged rapes, with a trial expected to start in January 2026 and a potential sentence of up to ten years.
  • The indictment describes an alleged October 2023 incident in Henningsvær during a trip with Crown Prince Haakon, outlining a shift from consensual sex to rape and covert filming while the woman slept.
  • Investigators say seized files include images and videos of women who have not all been identified, indicating possible additional victims.
  • Ex‑partner Nora Haukland says she alerted the Crown Prince couple to Høiby’s violence and drug use, and her private communications with them are now in the case file.
  • Prosecutors note such messages could be presented as evidence, while Høiby denies the sexual‑offence allegations but acknowledges past violence and drug problems.
